The Center for Religion and Media at New York University is one of ten Centers of Excellence funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts from 2003–2007. The Center continues with an endowment from NYU to stimulate innovative research and teaching in the interdisciplinary study of religion. The Center seeks to develop interdisciplinary, cross-cultural knowledge of how religious practices and ideas are shaped and spread through a variety of media. It provides a space for scholarly endeavor, a stage for public educational events and an electronic interface with scholars, journalists and the public through its innovative online magazine, The Revealer: a review of religion and media, edited by Brett Krutzsch.
The Center is a joint project of the Religious Studies Program (Elayne Oliphant, Director) and the Center for Media, Culture, and History, (Faye Ginsburg, Director).
